When the couple's first son was born the father was 32 years old.

After 7 years, mother's age was 35 .

So, after 7 years,  father's age would have been (32 + 7)

When the couple's son was 7 years old,

Mother's age was 35 and 

Father's age was 39

The difference between their age is ===> (39 - 35)

===> 4

So, the correct option is 4). 4 years
